lyrics

There are whistles pure and high
As a red stain ‘gainst the sky
Seeping through my window
As I try to close my eyes

Late night without rest is a night that I regret
In lament I must jest
Birds stay in your nest

Through a night a crawling
A worm can earn his meal
Through a songs careless calling
The danger becomes real

Instinct can guide them
And willpower can help
But we all pity the bird
Who misses the sun come up

I'm not ready for the birds
Its too early to sing
I'm not ready for the birds
They take all of the worms as I'm perishing

If I don’t sleep before I wake
Only I have lost my stake
Early birds have said their words
The songs that they will make

Simple bird songs, carefully decoded
Its just my sleep
They have eroded

A restless mind can’t sleep the night
So tired eyes must catch first light
Warm beams hit their bodies
To signal them to take flight

And after they have done the deed
There is just one last thing they need
To fill their bodies and prep a cry
For a whistle pure and high

I'm not ready for the birds
Its too early to sing
I'm not ready for the birds
They take all of the worms as I'm perishing

I'm not ready for the birds
Its too early to sing
I'm not ready for the birds
They take all of the worms as I perish
They take all of the worms as I perish
They take and I perish
They take all of the worms as I perish
They take all of the worms as I'm perishing
